The Muslim World League (MWL) condemned on Sunday Israel for attacking a United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) school where displaced civilians in the Nuseirat camp in the central Gaza Strip were sheltering.

In a statement, MWL Secretary General and Chairman of the Organization of Muslim Scholars, Dr. Mohammed bin Abdulkarim Al-Issa, on behalf of the MWL and its global academies, entities, and councils, denounced the horrific and ongoing barbaric crimes against civilians and civilian facilities.

These actions are a blatant violation of all international and humanitarian laws and norms, he stressed, underlining the urgent need for the international community to respond to the catastrophic humanitarian situation in the Palestinian territories by putting an end to systematic crimes being committed against innocent civilians.

Moreover, in the realm of institutional excellence and adherence to global standards, KSrelief received the ISO 37000 Governance of Organizations and the ISO 373001 Compliance Management Systems certifications. This recognition was granted after the center successfully implemented and met international system standards, earning European accreditation.

In recognition of Saudi Arabia's humanitarian, relief, and volunteer efforts facilitated by KSrelief, the center received the Global Humanitarian Achievement Award by the National Council on US-Arab Relations. This award commends KSrelief's contributions to international humanitarian and relief work through projects in vital sectors such as health, nutrition, education, water, sanitation, and environmental improvement.
Recognizing its exceptional efforts and humanitarian impact, KSrelief was honored with the Forbes Middle East Award for Social Responsibility. This award encourages local entities to prioritize social responsibility in their initiatives, promoting exceptional services through sustainable development programs and fostering a culture of social responsibility in Saudi Arabia.
Advisor to the Royal Court and Supervisor General of the KSrelief Dr. Abdullah bin Abdulaziz Al Rabeeah extended gratitude on behalf of the center's team to Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, and Prince Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, Crown Prince and Prime Minister, for their unwavering support.
